The dynamo. For terrestrial planets, the dynamo is a molten core of nickel-iron.

Mercury and Earth have fairly strong dynamos and therefore fairly strong magnetic fields. Venus and Mars do not, and have only weak magnetic fields.

How winding creates a magnetic field?

Current flow in any conductor creates a magnetic field, winding just concentrates it.


What is magnetic order?

Selenium is diamagnetic; it only creates a magnetic field in opposition to an external magnetic field.


Does mars have a gravity magnetic field?

Mars has gravity, as do all planets, but not a magnetic field.


What spinning particle creates a magnetic field?

An electron is a spinning particle that creates a magnetic field. The spinning motion of the electron generates a magnetic dipole moment, resulting in the creation of a magnetic field around the electron.


What planets from the strongest magnetic field to the weakest magnetic field?

The order of planets from the strongest magnetic field to the weakest is as follows: Jupiter, which has the strongest magnetic field of any planet in the solar system, followed by Saturn, which also has a significant magnetic field. Next is Uranus, with a weaker magnetic field than Saturn, and finally Neptune, which has the weakest magnetic field among the giant planets. Earth has a stronger magnetic field than both Uranus and Neptune but is weaker than those of Jupiter and Saturn.

What planets aren't magnetic?

Not all of the planets within our solar system have a magnetic field. Venus and Mars are the only ones that don't have a magnetic field (all other planets do have one).


What creates Earths magnetic?

Scientists think that the presence of the molten nickel iron layer of Earth's outer core and the spinning of the planet creates the magnetic field through the geodynamo mechanism.The geodynamo mechanism couples the convection of the liquid metal in the Earth's core with the magnetic field to create the current responsible for the magnetic field.Other planets with a molten metal core can also have a magnetic field.See related links.Earth's magnetic field is generated by the electric currents in the conductive material of its core.


What element in the Earth creates the magnetic field?

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron and nickel in its outer core. This movement, known as convection, creates electric currents that produce the magnetic field.

Does Eris have a magnetic field?

No, Eris does not have a magnetic field. It is a dwarf planet located in the outer solar system and does not exhibit any magnetic field like some other planets do.


Which planets do have a magnetic field?

Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth all have magnetic fields. Mercury has a very weak magnetic field.
